4 stars The logical heir to Nirvana's In Utero, Ok Computer is one of the very few albums of 90s rock that desreve to be taken into account. Yes, it's dark, it's quite sinister,and I wouldn't reccomend listening to it while driving through a city at night, but it's deffinetly post- modern art,and that's quite something after the 80s,a decade of excess which stripped music of 70% of its artistic value. IMO, you should think of OKC in terms of sheer artistic strength. Picture yourself an album that has the same ammount of stylistical unity as DSOTM, but without the clever trick of unifying all the tracks. Instead, you must think in terms of atmosphere&tension, in terms of recurring musical themes. Not as artful as Tool's Lteralus, but pretty close indeed. The only thing it lacks is the groundbreaking ideas of DSOTM. Still, a great album. Thumbs up for radiohead!
